Sohail noticed Shera and saw something special in him. He approached Shera and asked if he would consider looking after Salman during such events. At the time, Shera only provided security during shows, not daily.
However, as time passed, the bond between Salman and Shera grew stronger. Shera became more than just a bodyguard; he became a trusted confidant and friend. Reflecting on their relationship, Shera said, “I have been with Salman for 29 years. While other bodyguards often switch between celebrities, I’ve stayed with him. I don’t think anyone else can manage Bhai like I do.”
